How to run second instance of Tomcat 6.0.20 on separate port

[Kapil Godara <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
My requirement: To install Opensso and Policy agent on Tomcat 6.0.20 on
single windows server. I installed Opensso on default tomcat port 8080 but
to install the Poilcy agent I need to create a separate instance of tomcat
on different port say 8081.

My procedure:

Step 1 - Installed tomcat 6.0.20 using apache-tomcat-6.0.20.exe at path
TOMCAT_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0. It is
running fine
Step 2 - Copied the contents of TOMCAT_HOME to new directory i.e. C:\Program
Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat_instance2 (TOMCAT_HOME2)
Step 3 - Changed the ports (http, shutdown and ajp connecter ports) in
server.xml in TOMCAT_HOME2\conf
Step 4 - Set environmental variable CATALINA_BASE=C:\Program Files\Apache
Software Foundation\Tomcat_instance2 (There is no startup.bat in bin folder)

I start the tomcat from TOMCAT_HOME\bin tomcat6w.exe  In browser
http://localhost:8080/ runs fine but when I use http://localhost:8081 it
does not work.

Can you please help me how to run second instance of Tomcat on separate
port?

regards
kapil

Hi,
Thanks a lot to all. I achieved the Goal :)
But still not able to install the second tomcat instance as Windows Service.
Where do i need to make changes?

What I did next is
Step 1 - Copied the contents of C:\tomcat1 into C:\tomcat2

Step 2 - Changed the Http, shutdown and ajp connecter port in server.xml at
C:\tomcat2\conf to 8180, 8105 and 8109

Step 3 - Edited the startup.bat at C:\tomcat2\bin. Deleted all the contents
of it and added
set CATALINA_BASE=C:\tomcat2
C:\tomcat1\bin\startup.bat

Step 4 - Edited the shutdown.bat at C:\tomcat2\bin. Deleted all the contents
of it and added
set CATALINA_BASE=C:\tomcat2
C:\tomcat1\bin\shutdown.bat

Step - 5 Double clicked startup.bat in C:\tomcat2 and in browser used
http://localhost:8180/ to access the new port

Step - 6 Double clicked startup.bat in C:\tomcat1 and in browser used
http://localhost:8080/ to access the default port.

[Kapil Godara <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi Andre,

I did as suggested. Tomcat is running fine as service Tomcat1.

I have set CATALINA_HOME=C:\tomcat1 and CATALINA_BASE=C:\tomcat1
(I set the env var from Control Panel -> System Properties ->Advanced ->
Environment Variables -> System variables)

What is the next step for additional instance on different port?

thanks and regards

Let's start again, from the beginning.

This has been discussed many times on this forum, but I believe it is 
worth repeating it, because it is probably the source of the confusion.

In the Tomcat website download page, there are several versions :

- one is for Unix/Linux. That is a "complete" version, with all the 
files packed together in one .tar.gz file.  To install it, you unpack 
these files under one new directory for Tomcat, and it creates a set of 
subdirectories conf, bin, etc..

But for Windows, there are *two* versions :
- one is a "simple" version, named "installer", which is destined for 
the quick and simple installation of a single Tomcat under Windows, to 
run as a Windows Service. This is apparently the one you downloaded and 
installed. This version does not contain /all/ the same files as the one 
for Unix/Linux above, only a subset of them.

- the other one is a "zip" version, which does contain all the same 
files as the Unix/Linux version, and even some additional ones.
This version /also/ allows you to install Tomcat as a Windows Service, 
but this requires a bit more work.  It also provides all the files 
necessary to install a second instance of Tomcat and run it as a second 
Windows Service.
This is the one you should download now.

My recommendation is :
- remove the first version of Tomcat that you downloaded and installed 
(the .exe version).
- download the zip version
- decide on a "main" and "second" directories where you will run your 
two instances of Tomcat.
I suggest that you pick directory paths that are simple, without spaces 
in the name.  Like "c:\tomcat1" and "c:\tomcat2".  That will save you 
time and problems later.
- unzip the downloaded Tomcat zip version in the first directory.
Note for the future that this is now your "CATALINA_HOME" directory.
- in the directory c:\tomcat1\bin, run the "service.bat" script, to 
install this Tomcat instance as the first Windows Service.  Give it the 
name "Tomcat1".
For this Tomcat, the "CATALINA_BASE" is also "c:\tomcat1".

When all the above is done and you have a running first Tomcat instance, 
then come back here for additional information on how to run an 
additional instance, using the same CATALINA_HOME, but a separate 
CATALINA_BASE.

To get this running, I suggest you:
1) Download the .zip version of 6.0.20;
2) Unzip it somewhere safe;
3) Copy the missing .bat files to your second installation;
4) Carry on with what you were doing now that you have the files.

If you later want to install the second instance as a second service, you
can do that - but I'd get it running standalone first.  It's far easier to
debug startup errors on a standalone Tomcat, in my experience.

[Kapil Godara <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I copied the entire folder Tomcat 6.0 at C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation (where tomcat is installed) to Tomcat_instance2 .
(I installed tomcat 6.0.20 using apache-tomcat-6.0.20.exe, it does not
create any startup.bat or shutdown.bat file in bin folder. this installation
creates window service. tomcat6w.exe in turn calls tomcat6.exe)

I have set two environment variables as

CATALINA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0  and
CATALINA_BASE= C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat_instance2

Am I missing something? I did read RUNNING.txt it says in bin I should have
setenv.bat. Do i need to create this? What should be written in this bat
file?

regards
kapil

I think you didn't copy the entire installation.

You can run two Tomcat instances from the same installed binary by
setting separate CATALINA_BASE and CATALINA_HOME environment variables.

See the file: path/to/tomcat/RUNNING.txt

Hi,

    Please try to execute *startup.bat* in bin folder to startup your 
tomcat instance.

Kind regards,
